BONSAI

The Chicago Botanical Gardens this weekend has given me much to appreciate. A bonsai exhibit was on display with selections from their permanent collection. The exhibit organized and set up in an easy to navigate open air gallery. The concept of nurturing and caring after something that is detail-oriented and skillful is truly a feat and sight to behold. I feel a new invigoration in my work, life and art. I have attempted to take a few images for you of the stillness and presence in these microcosms of life. But they should be seen in person.

P.S. The pairing aspect of the Bonsai display has become a kernel of reflection for me. Subtle yet speaking volumes through simple placement.
